Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Bakeware rarely 'breaks' but often degrades to the point of being unusable. Warping from thermal shock and degradation of non-stick surfaces are the most common reasons for replacement.
Maintenance
View all →Inspect for Rust and Warping
Metal pans can warp from thermal shock or develop rust spots if stored damp. Check integrity to ensure even baking.
Re-Season Bare Metal Pans
Cast iron and carbon steel bakeware need their protective oil layers maintained to prevent rust and stickiness.
Remove Baked-On Grease
Polymerized oil and burnt food ruin non-stick properties and heat distribution. Deep clean pans periodically to restore their surface.
